07 Biggest Ways Suits Changed Across 9 Seasons
Suits is a well crafted legal drama series from start to finish, but the show does undergo several major changes between the first episode and the last. Suits was first aired on the USA Network in 2011, where it went on to have success as a popular hit show for much of the entire nine-season run. Building on drama and tension experienced by individuals working in an upscale New York City law firm, Pearson Hardman, the series crafted a compelling character-driven narrative around an area that hasn't had a lot of successful procedural dramas exploring it.
However, the show is also first and foremost a fictional TV series that is driven and shaped by the stories and lives of the central characters. These characters grow from a more immature and naive starting point in the first season, to become more well-rounded, and more fully realized characters by the series' end. And in addition, many other details surrounding the show and its characters are dramatically different by the time the series wraps up in 2019. Unlike some shows, however, most of the changes in the Suits show were for the better.
One of the biggest and most central stories to come out of the first half of the show was around Mike Ross' legitimacy as a lawyer. When he is hired by Harvey Specter to work at Pearson Hardman, he initially has no real certificate, or a completed law degree. This is not only highly illegal and irresponsible, but it also contradicts the beliefs of the firm, as they exclusively hire associate candidates who have graduated from Harvard and are qualified to be fully-fledged lawyers.
Much of the drama in the early seasons of the show came from what would happen if Mike was caught.
Much of the drama in the early seasons of the show came from what would happen if Mike was caught. Considering his illegitimate operations as a lawyer, any cases he worked on could have been thrown out and challenged, as well as causing the firm considerable lasting damage. However, by Suits season 5, Mike is put in prison for his illegal activity, and the following season, he acquires a license to practise law. This may have removed a significant source of drama, but after six seasons, it was time to move on to new stories.
